I am looking for a service that would allow my staff and others to text (sms) me without it costing them. So like my 0800 cell phone number, I would wear the cost of each text message.

I enquired about this with a couple of different vodafone csr's, but both told me no such service exists. I would take their word for it, but they have been known to be wrong before and I really want this service if possible?

its nothing to do with novelty, its due to the essential need for my staff to record and confirm their shifts, handovers, etc. they are all very familiar with txting but not always within their credit limits.

This is not some sort of marketing whimsical foray.

The real problem is what you want is available, but as pointed out comes at a significant cost.

IIf you want a cheaper option deploy an 0800 based IVR for logging this. Dead simple, used very extensively by many companies, and you could deploy an Asterisk system to do this cheaply.
